School’s in for comedy...

The Hollywood Reporter announce that both are in talks to join the cast; Segel as a gym teacher and Higgins as Principal Wally Snur.

Written by Year One and Ghostbusters 3 scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the script centres on Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz). She’s a “foul-mouthed, conniving seventh grade teacher” who turns her gold-digging attention on a model teacher when her sugar daddy boyfriend dumps her.

But that teacher (yet to be cast) is already the boyfriend of colleague Amy Squirrel (Lucy Punch).
